The Slovenian Institute for Adult Education developed the Offering Quality Education to Adults (OQEA) project as an incentive to develop quality in adult education so that we could give advice to different educational organisations regarding self-evaluation of their quality and searching for paths towards further development. The OQEA project has its own logo that all those who take part in the project use when appearing in public. There are several versions of the logo, because we want it to reflect the role that individual users have.
 
After an organisation joins the project, we guide it when it thinks about its vision and the values it wants to develop in adult education. We help it assess more thoroughly the quality it has already achieved and plan the steps to develop in a way that would satisfy the organisation itself, the adults using its educational services, the business partners, and the environment in which it works.

Our work together continues for about two years: the SIAE role is mostly in guidance and education, while each educational organisation forms a quality group that carries out individual procedures in quality assessment and development in their organisation.

We started to develop the project in 1999 and the first organisations that educate adults joined us in 2001. By 2010 the model was (and continues to be) used by 80% of adult education centres (28 of 35), 27% of secondary schools (25 of 91), and 18% of the private educational organisations (9 of 50) that at the moment carry out public programmes of adult education. In total, this represents 35,22% of all the organisations carrying out publicly accredited programmes of adult education.

The development work by the SIAE and the educational organisations participating in the project is supported by the Ministry of Education and Sports, and since 2004 also by the European Social Fund.
